The Protector Novel

“How disappointing, Levi!”

“We would never have expected that you would show up to steal credit during this time!”

“Tens of thousands of men had witnessed the Four Basilisks triumph over the Northern Demon with their very eyes, so how would you have us believe that you were the one who killed him?”

“We’ve groomed you for so long, Levi, and even made you the Crown King! To think you could come around and try to steal credit for yourself!”

Those in attendance were uproarious, and saw to it that their dismay with Levi was made known.

The notion that the Four Basilisks killed the Northern Demon became the canonical narrative ever since the four had been proclaimed as heroes by the billions of people in Erudia.

For Levi to tell them otherwise would be to fly in the face of everything that everyone had come to believe, so their perturbation and disbelief were to be expected.

“To be honest, Levi, there was only one reason why you weren’t sent against the Northern Demon, and that is that you weren’t his match. The Fusion Attack of the Four Basilisks was meant to defeat him.”

There was a moment of silence before Levi snorted.

The Fusion Attack was completely ineffective against the Northern Demon!
